#Just Grandma and Me
5 messages in this thread
I have a 486/50 with a Mitsumi drive and a sound blaster (not pro). The
drive I believe is rated at 300ms access and is not a speed demon. I do
have it cached with Speed/Cache Plus.
When I play Just Grandma and Me I get some pause/skips in certain places
consistently. Has anyone else experienced this problem? I wondering if it
is the slow drive or possibly a defective CD?
Any and all input would be greatly appreciated by me and more importantly
my little munchkin who loves Little Critter.
Patrick,
When I first got Just Grandma & Me, I had a medium speed drive and noticed
that it was awfully slow running JG&M. Of course, I couldn't get too far
because I got a GPF on the second page (audio card fault).
Now I have a speed-doubled drive and an SB-Pro and haven't had any
slowdowns such as you mention. Turning pages still takes a while, but the
animation and sound is smooth. I run a 486DX2/66.

I can live with the relatively slow turning of pages. It's the sound
interruptions that are annoying. When Little Critter is talking about
snorkling it pauses halfway through his/her/it's sentence and the result is
a skipped word or two. I haven't had this sound problem on other CD's,
however, I don't have that many that are so demanding on the CDROM speed
either.
Still perplexed…
Patrick,
Wish I knew what to suggest.
I can say that at last report Broderbund wasn't accepting questions in
their section in PCVENA. The said to contact them through the mall. Might
be worth a shot.
Jeff
Thanks. I'll give that a shot.
